Does anybody know where the extract below is taken from ?

Of shared love in marriage and one best way to show love
by Victor Hugo

" You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.

The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing

small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing

that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again.

And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.

Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves."

I find his works to be overwhelming pieces of which I can not fully digest all of the information. They are purly representative of not only that time period but also of the timeless human soul. Written almost 200 years ago and this novel is even more relavant today than ever.

I read the adapted version of Les Miserables for a report. It was magnificent! Victor Hugo keeps the reader on his/her feet in the entire story. I always wondered what was going to happen next. It was somewhat of a sad story, but I fully enjoyed it!

Why don't all of you stop trivializing the art of Hugo? If you need to swear so mush, this is not the site to do that. As I understand it, one comes here to participate in literary discussions, not show off their profecient use of invective !!!
One more thing, in order to even consider yuorself as someone who has read a novel by Hugo, a difficult reading to go through, one should NEVER read an "adapted" version of his work!
You guys, this is really disgusting to read some of your comments!
Why don't you all stop showing off and start thinking on a deeper level, the level that Hugo's literature requires?
Because, otherwise, just do not even express how unable to think you are.

ok so i saw the musical of les miserables but i don't get what a "yellow ticket" is, and why was javert chasing jean valjean if he was released? I don't get it! Maybe I'm just stupid.

>>By megan (Monday, 30 Jun 2003 19:49)

Maybe.... No, no, Megan.... A yellow ticket, I think, is the document one could get to legally be a prostitute at the time (features also in Crime and Punishment). And Jean Valjean wasn't released, he escaped ("convict on the run..."?). I, however, thought it was somewhat ridiculous Javert would have gone to all that trouble to chase an escaped convict through the years, but maybe we better understand our conditions when they are exaggerated??

>>By Kelsey (Wednesday, 2 Jul 2003 01:25)

The yellow ticket is simply the document that says he is released from prison, like a parole slip, if you will. He actually was released after 20 years of prison, he tried to escape during prison so he had to serve another 15 years to the original five year sentence. But when you get your yellow ticket, you are still on parole and have to show your employer you were a prisoner, and his particular employer took advantage of it and wouldn't pay him the same as the other workers. So he did flee. Javert did chase him because that is what Javert did, he knew absolutely no mercy, a horrible flaw he had. At the end when he did show Valjean mercy, it bothered him so much he killed himself.

I just want to know if anyone knows where to get an unabridged french version of Les Miserables. There must be one out there. I have read the unabridged English version several times but now that I have taken LOTS of French classes, I would like to read it in Hugo's native tongue.
